They mention the closest living instrument might be the Lithuanian skudučiai, which led me to this performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs738I0QbAQ The scale was probably different from that example. I don't kn

There are already tools that can estimate the variation of tempo over time (rubato). Librosa's "tempo" function does the job well for some types of music - it can even give you a 3D/heatmap plot with the likelihood of ev

I use and like both, but I'd say they're quite different. With trackers, you're editing a series of events. Events can be notes, parameter changes, or commands such as "reverse this sample's playing direction now&qu

I wouldn't hold my breath on Firefox adding support for importing inside workers. I've personally worked around it with the convoluted solution of bundling modules with the in-browser version of esbuild immediately before playing

I've added custom materials building upon THREE's shader code, and found this part more organized than you're describing, though undocumented. They're using a custom shader preprocessor, and shaders use it to include dif

Trackers are underrated. In a way, I'm a bit sad that most of the time I see them mentioned, it seems to be in a historical context. Modern production tools have mostly settled on the combination of pianoroll, automation curves, and vi

> Digital morphing was introduced to the public in that film. As someone who grew up watching Willow (1988), I beg to differ... Note the box office was about 1/4 that of Terminator 2, so you could say it reached the public pretty we

Yes, most audio programming languages allow you to create DSP graphs by connecting nodes together. This is often done with some kind of pipe operator (for example, ChucK has the "chuck operator", Faust has a bunch of operators for

"j" is already used to represent another consonant that arguably sounds closer to Jay (not that it's supposed to specifically match how English uses the Latin alphabet, but in this case it doesn't matter). Both of these

Say what you will about FL Studio, the screenshot in the article (presumably from a Glitcha project) shows it can achieve some impressive information density: https://restofworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06

I think the metaphor only sort-of works when you represent the object as a point. The farther you are from an unstable point of equilibrium, the harder you're getting pushed away from it. So if your station gets nudged, the farther par

If you're comparing sample-for-sample, maybe. But that's not what is performed by music identification algorithms - it would be both slow (to the point of being unusable) and inaccurate (because of re-encoding, etc). Instead they

I wasn't familiar with the Teensy Audio Library, it looks really fun and well-featured. Faust is also popular for this purpose (this is mentioned in the linked page). You write audio code in Faust and it gets compiled to tight C code,
